FORGE MOTORSPORT IMPREZA TD05 W/G ACTUATOR...???
Can anyone help?...
I've bought a Forge w/g act. (as per the title of this thread). I want to change the spring but I'll be buggered if I can unscrew the hard metal spring retaining cap! Is there a special knack or something? (assuming, of course, that it's not cross-threaded)...
Cheers

Yeah, to hold the shiny metal outer canister 'lid' on. But I don't mean that...
...I'm talking about the internals...
...The w/g canister end of the rod is threaded and screws into a cap's underside (this cap retains the wider end of the spring).
You, seemingly, have to grip the circular cap whilst holding the other (w/g flapper end) of the rod, and then turn anti-clockwise. Thing is, I can't get enough purchase (using a couple of pairs of mole-grips) -- the cap just slips round.
I think I'll have to get it in a vice or something....

Nah. The w/g canister end of the rod is threaded and screws into the cap's underside. There's no allen bolts, etc.

API sorted it for me (was having a clutch fitted there, anyway). Indeed, their vice came to the rescue....
